No Time for Argument.

At a recent. trail in a Justices
court, eminent legal counsel had
been employedsby both sides, the
evidence had all been submitted,
the counsel for the complainant
had fnishe his argument, and the
Judge aud those present were lis
tening to the lawyer for the de-
fense, who endeavored, of course,
to put forth his side Of the case in
tile best possible manner. All of a
sudden the judge was seen to write
something on small slip Of paper,
which he then proceeded to fold
nicely, and depoSiting the same in
- copy of che code in front of him
took his hat, and remarling to the
astonished gentlemen:
"You can proceed with your ar
gument, Nit, and when you
have finished you will find my de-
cision in this case on that slip OF
paper" arose to leave.
In vain were the remonstrances
of the counsel. The judge would
not be persuaded to remain, re-
marking to astonisbed audience:
ssDon't you all see that cloud
over there? That means rain, aud
Pm going home to set out my po-
tato Slips"

He Eyadcd the Truth.

The Rev. Daniel Isaacs once
called at an inn to stay the night.
On asking for a bed he was told he
could not have one, as there was
to be a ball that evening, and all
the }beds wereiengaged.
ssNhatetime does tie ball break
up?' asked Mr.. Isaacs. s-.
about 3 in the morning, SIR
well, then, cau [ have a bed un.
til that time.'
'Yes, certainly; but if the bed is
asked for you will have to remove?
very well,' replied Mr.. Isaacs,
and away he went to get between
the sheets.
About 8 in the morning he was
awoke By loud knocking at his
chamber door.
sWhat do you want?' he asked.
'How many are there of you in
here? asked a voice.
There's me and Daniel and Mr..
Isaacs and an old Methodist preach
err was the reply.
Then, by thunder! there's plenty
Of you!' And the speaker passed
on, leaving Mr.. Isaacs to enjoy his
nap.
